The test is used as an indicator of English language proficiency for entry into universities, TAFE (Technical andFurther Education) colleges, secondary schools and colleges in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada and English language medium universities in Asia (eg. in Singapore). For more information on the IELTS test, visit: www.ielts.org

NCELTR conducts tests regularly throughout the year.

You may also take this module for immigration purposes.
